Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed the Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America (APPNA) via video message, highlighting the close ties between the Pakistani government, its Islamist allies, and the APPNA. The Turkish regime aims to use Jamaat-e-Islami affiliated groups in South Asia as soft power proxies.

In July, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed the 46th annual convention of the Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America (APPNA) via video message. This seemingly obscure group of American Pakistani doctors is actually a key institution of the Pakistani government and its Islamist allies. APPNA is known for its close ties to Jamaat-e-Islami, a violent South Asian Islamist movement. The Turkish regime has openly expressed its hope that Jamaat-e-Islami affiliated groups in South Asia will serve as soft power proxies for Erdoğan's AKP government. Turkish regime groups and Pakistani Jamaat-e-Islami networks are now working together to manage the education of at least 12,000 students across Pakistan. This collaboration extends to the West, where Ankara has established bodies to coordinate between Western Islamists, Pakistani jihadists, and Turkish government officials. There has been a significantly expanded level of cooperation between the Turkish regime and South Asian Islamists in the West.
The Turkish regime's efforts to co-opt American groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood have produced mixed results, with some resistance from organizations like the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). However, Jamaat-e-Islami operatives in America, such as Mohsin Ansari, offer no such resistance and are willing participants in the Turkish regime's designs. In his address to APPNA, Erdoğan denounced Islamophobia and xenophobia in Western nations and stressed the brotherly relations between Pakistan and Turkey. He emphasized the importance of a united umma of Muslims, stating that if Muslims act as one heart and one wrist, no one in the world will dare to attack their sanctities.
These international Islamist machinations demonstrate that the Turkish regime views American Muslims as important to its influence efforts within the United States. It also reflects the important role American Islamism plays in the development of Erdoğan's global ideological ambitions. The growing Turkish-Pakistani Islamist ties, forged through diplomatic channels and explored through proxies and diaspora communities in the West, highlight the Turkish regime's desire to lead disparate Islamist movements around the world. The Turkish regime has found a willing, subservient proxy in Jamaat-e-Islami.
Overall, the Turkish President's address to the Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America reveals the Turkish regime's efforts to co-opt South Asian Islamists as proxies for its global ideological designs. The close ties between APPNA and Jamaat-e-Islami, as well as the collaboration between Turkish and Pakistani Islamists in the West, demonstrate the Turkish regime's desire to lead various Islamist movements worldwide. American Islamism plays a crucial role in the Turkish regime's ambitions, and the cooperation between the two reflects their shared goals and ideologies.
